Getting started
Install Gyroscape, sign in, open a local project, and complete your first coding task.
On this page
Install the official app
Download Gyroscape from the official Download page. Choose the build for your operating system and processor, complete the installer, and open the desktop app.
Use only installers and update channels published by Gyroscape. The desktop app includes the coding workspace, terminal, change review, browser, and account controls described in these guides.
Sign in once
Sign in with your Gyroscape account. The desktop session is designed to remain signed in and renew service access in the background. Closing or restarting the app does not intentionally sign you out.
Use Log out from the account menu when you want to end the session. A new sign-in can still be required if an administrator revokes access or a security credential becomes invalid.
Open a project folder
Select New project and choose the local folder containing the code you want Gyroscape to work on. That folder becomes the boundary for file inspection, edits, terminal commands, and source-control status.
Open the repository root when possible. A parent folder can expose unrelated work, while a deeply nested folder can hide build scripts and repository metadata needed for verification.
Start your first task
Create a task and describe the result you want. Include current behavior, expected behavior, constraints, and how the result should be verified. Attach files or images when the task depends on visual or document context.
Fix the session refresh bug.
Current: Session expired appears when access ages out.
Expected: refresh in the background and stay signed in until Log out.
Verify: add focused tests and retry a 401 only once after refresh.A useful task names the failure, required result, and verification boundary.
Choose run settings
Use the model and effort control in the composer to select an available reasoning level. Leave Default selected when unsure. Ultra is intended for work that benefits from deeper verification or parallel investigation and can use more time and plan usage.
Choose Auto-approve for routine work in a trusted project or Ask when you want to inspect eligible operations. Sensitive external, destructive, or unrestricted actions can still require explicit consent in either mode.
